    Hi. I’m Ashley. I’m on 31 and lost my wife because of my gambling. I’m addicted to online gambling and lost our live savings of 100K. My relationship and trust with my family is ruined. I chase my wins, even when my brain says enough, i always think ok one more deposit and i could Hit big. I’m in VA and I’m new to this… i need help, a friend, someone to coach me through. I’ve just self excluded indefinitely form my site of choice.

    • Hi Ashley, I just became a member today. You’re the first post I read and I know exactly how you feel and almost experienced the same consequences but I don’t know which way out more in your eyes. Losing over $250,000 in one year and still going? I don’t know losing a marriage would probably out weigh the $250k in loses. I have an excessive OCD chasing gambling habits on a daily. I gamble all night and during work as I work remotely as a Network Security Engineer with high vulnerabilities of getting the firm hacked and a high pressured job. I’m truly sorry our shared habits lost your marriage. I could kind of imagine as I almost lost my girlfriend of over 10 years over 20-30 times as she was fed up with my obsession and when she found out how much I lost in a day she was so turned off and disappointed that I would lose all that money we could use spending time with each other. I can admit with this gambling issue I have become selfish and no trustworthy and that’s not the real person I am. It’s just this addiction to need some action and I bet dogs and a lot to try to win $6k to $10k a game and it has not worked for a lot of years. Losing $250k last year made me or enforced me to have to take a break. I make decent money but if you want to know my earnings it’s exactly just about how much I worked a whole year for. Let me know if you want to chat! 🙂

          • I feel yalls pain. Lost my everything. Fiancee, son, house, cars, business, and my soul. I had no idea it was so insidious. Like for real i was an active crack addict and coukd still run my business and take care of my family. But gambling? Absolutely took everything from me. I hope things start and continue to look up for us. Im on day one of actually being willing to deal with my addiction head on. We got this! I believe in us
